  • Synthetic peptide lung surfactants having covalently bonded antioxidants
    Patent number: 5886156
    Abstract: Synthetic pulmonary surfactants having antioxidant properties consisting of a complex of a polypeptide of 3-4 amino acid residues, with an antioxidant moiety, and a lipid consisting of one or more of the lipids associated with natural pulmonary surfactant were prepared. These surfactants are useful in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 26, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 23, 1999
    Assignee: Merrell Pharmaceuticals Inc.
    Inventors: Larry R. McLean, J. Vincent Edwards
  • Peptide lung surfactants and therapeutic combinations
    Patent number: 5861481
    Abstract: Synthetic pulmonary surfactant consisting of a complex of a polypeptide of 3-4 amino acid residues having alpha-helical structure and a covalently bound long chain acyl group. The peptides are useful when consisting of one or more associated lipids in combination in conditions associated with respiratory distress.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 1997
    Date of Patent: January 19, 1999
    Assignee: Merrell Pharmaceuticals Inc.
